While I agree with the sentiments, OP, the problem will then be “three people playing, one leaves, the other two get bored and quit, repeat”. IMO, the problems started when INCIT started moderating/blocking certain entries. Yes, “WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW” is not a legit entry, but letting people do it if they wanted to (and vote for it if they wanted to) encouraged them to stick around, chat on IDC, and attract other legitimate players to the chat and by extension to INCIT. When you get seven or eight people who are actually actively chatting, it becomes easy to get seven or eight more; when you only have five to begin with and they’re already bored, it’s much harder. INCIT should be more like WeChall: full of garbage players, but at least it’s active and there are a few diamonds in all that coal.
